85 Spider Flywheel Position

I have rebuilt (while learning) the engine on my 85 Spider. It uses a L-Jetronic injection system. I can't get it to start, but I have fuel pressure and Spark at the plugs. Can someone tell me what is the position of the fly wheel when the first piston is at "P". I think it has a mark on the 12:00 o'clock.

Any comments will help. I need to get it started.

There's a photo here about 1/3 of the way down the page showing the location of the magnet in comparison to the tick mark on the flywheel along with a bunch of other useful tips.
